It has been nine weeks since the University of Waterloo took steps to move academics online as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you for your continued flexibility, patience and resilience during this unprecedented time.
We know many of you have questions about the fall term. We are committed to delivering the quality learning and student experience you expect from us. While the situation will continue to evolve, we would like to share our current plans for September.
Throughout the pandemic we have delivered the highest quality courses and experiences for you, at a distance. This will continue into fall term.
We have learned from our experience preparing to run the largest spring term in Canada and will invest in further upgrades to distance learning. We will continue to put you in the centre of everything we do:
We are planning for a combined approach to learning for the fall term and a measured return to in-person learning.
Whatever we decide, we will follow direction from all levels of government to ensure we can resume operations safely.
The uncertainty and change surrounding the pandemic may cause feelings of heightened anxiety and stress. Campus Wellness continues to be here for students – you can find wellness information and other resources to help get you through the term online.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
